I didn't start Darkspring because I thought the world needed another software company, or because I was obsessed with AI. I started it because of limitations.

I was born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a condition that affects the motor neurons controlling muscle development. There was a lot I couldn't do as a kid, and the things I could do took a lot more time and effort than they took for everyone else. That never stopped me. I always figured out a way to have a great time; I built a career in tech, and did everything I could to live a normal, independent life.

One common trait that I've always had was finding efficiency in the things I do. Not because I'm lazy but because the more efficient I could make my life, the more time I had to do the things I wanted to do. When I started messing around with AI, it wasn't the chatbots or the goofy images that hooked me. It was the realization that this was the same thing I'd been doing my whole life. Now I can make a product that everyone else can use too. Something that used to take a person all day could suddenly take a few minutes.

Most of the AI and automation being built right now are built for companies that already have IT departments, big budgets and a team to manage it all. Nobody's building for the plumber running his business out of his truck or the two-person landscaping crew that spend all day on mowers. Darkspring's first priority is that they no longer lose jobs just because they're out working instead of by the phone.

Darkspring is not for the "small business" as a market segment but actual small businesses. The ones where the owner is also the technician, the bookkeeper, and the guy who answers the phone at 7pm. They shouldn't have to become tech people to reap the benefits of this new generation of technology. I build it so they don't have to think about it. It just works.

The whole point of Darkspring is to give people back the time this new technology is capable of returning to us. Your local plumber and electrician take care of us. Darkspring takes care of them.
